Please don't think me ignorant, but I haven't seen a receiver in that rough shape for a while. I wouldn't use it for anything but a paper weight. I think if you had it examined professionally you would find a long list of deficiencies. It may actually be twisted from a poorbarrel removal. They aren't that expensive so getting another won't be bad. Or do you even need to use that one? I think the lamp is probably a good idea.
